I want one of these....
<----------

Does that make me a total Dago, or what?

Speaking of Dago...

Black Dagos
Nationality: Italians
Believed that some Sicilians are part Black.
Me? Negro? Hmm.... I do enjoy basketball, and KFC...

Dago
Italians
Slang for Italian, originally coming from Spain. "Diego" was a common name in Italy at the time this slang was first used. See: Wop. Proud to be a Dago.

Geep
Italians
From Pinnochio's "father" Gestepo, who was Italian.
One of the few I haven't heard.

Grape-Stomper
Italians & French
They make wine.
Yep.

Guinea
Italians
Pronounced "gi-nee." Came from "Guinea Negro" and originally referred to any Black or any person of mixed ancestry. This dates back to the 1740's. By the 1890s it was being applied to Italians--almost certainly because they tend to have darker skin than Anglo-Saxons/Germans. By 1911 the term began being applied to Hispanics, although the reference to Italians is the most common.
My lips are kind of big...


Guido
Italians
Northern term referring to Italians who try to portray a mafia mentality. Feminine version is Guidette.
Lol, my brother's a Guido/Guinea! Love you Brandon ;)

Ragu
Italians
Spaghetti sauce.
Heard it.

Wop
Italians
High class Italian. Stands for "With Out Papers." Started when there was a big Italian emigration to the U.S., and many were coming in illegally (with out papers).
Get this one all the time. All the damn time.

I was talking to my friend today after watching the news story about the guy who fell overboard on a cruise ship. I've been on two cruises, and ever since the first one, falling overboard has been one of my biggest fears. Not many things give me the feeling of pure panic, but this sure as hell does. On the first cruise I was on, I walked up to the rail and looked over, just like everyone else, and it hit me that if I were be a half a foot further than I was, no one would ever find me. Not only would I be lost forever, more than likely, but can you imagine looking all around you and being able to see nothing but water and a ship sailing away? Not knowing what's around you? Being cold, and totally helpless? God... I get the willies just thinking about it again. Or! What about watching someone fall, or jump?

Don't get me wrong, the cruise it's self is great. I've been to Jamaica, Grand Cayman, Cozumel, and New Orleans. This is a picture my ex boyfriend took while we were climbing a waterfall in Jamaica... shortly after, he got held up in the marketplace.

Let me tell you; we're holding hands for a reason. It was an interesting experience though.

Biggest fears next to this one... I'd have to say snakes, and IV needles. How about you?

Last week, I discovered that iTunes has comedy channels... this makes work tolerable. I lock myself in my office, and blast KHAHA (uncensored).
George Lopez, is great. Especially if you've dated a Mexican whoes family came from Mexico. He says everything I've ever thought, or wanted to say while sitting there at Christmas, eating cow stomach soup.

Mitch Hedberg, has the most unique, and dry sence of humor. He takes the littlest things, twists them around, and makes them funny.

George Carlin, does the two minute warning act, its great. He talks about all the things you could, or should do if you were to have a two minute warning before you die. Carlin, is actually going to be in Rosemont January 21, which is cool.
